Good post. I like it. I don’t understand why FR has so many drug addicts. Why do they insist upon posting here?
Because it frees our minds.
A tremendous amount of blood and treasure has been spent to keep that war going, and the more obvious answers to the worst of it are ignored (Secure the border, for starters).
If nearly half of Colorado's demand for pot is supplied by illegal sources,there is a lot of money flowing into criminal hands yet. That money won't be spent on education, or for that matter, anything else beneficial to the state.
As for drugs, we have enough problems with the recreational use of alcohol, a drug that has been wildly popular for thousands of years. Do we really need to assimilate another intoxicant into the culture? --especially one which is difficult to quantify levels of intoxication? which lingers in the body long after consumption, making the effects difficult to assess?
At least we understand the physiology of alcohol, elimination rates, long term effects, etc.
While the law may not be enough to stop the abuse of drugs, nor eliminate demand, it is a starting point. The "war" part needs to be toned down, though.
It’s not that they’re addicts, it’s that their stance is a natural conclusion of their “get the government out of our lives as much as possible” and “you’re free to be stupid; we’ll punish you only if you hurt someone” axioms.
As someone who uses cannabis (ingested) to cope with horrible withdrawal symptoms after decades of prescribed anti-depressant use with great success—I’m just here to smile at you. Peace :)

On their little pot blogs, they get bored with themselves and their stupid arguments for frying their brain cells.
So they pick a target where they can try out their stupid arguments and that would be conservative sites because conservatives by and large don’t give a sh*t for their cause.
Their day in the Sun is coming to an end as Americans have had it with all the social deceit on many levels.
The mods didn't.

Who are the drug addicts posting here, and how do you know they're drug addicts?
